Zhao Yuan looked at her cute red face, stole a fragrance and promised: "Little Bao'er, I will be back soon after I go back this time, because the news of my father's death will definitely spread, and I will be back by then.
After the funeral, I will ask my father to marry you within a hundred days of my father’s death!"
Listening to Zhao Yuan's vow, Leng Changxi smiled lightly and nodded gently.
But there was an unspeakable melancholy in her heart, and she didn't know why.
That night, Zhao Yuan fell asleep slowly with Leng Changxi in his arms, but nothing happened to her.
It wasn't until early in the morning that Leng Changxi slowly woke up from the bed, stretched out her hand to touch the remaining warmth around her, and then she woke up. After calling Lingshan for questioning, she found out that Zhao Yuan had left early in the morning and saw that
She was sleeping deeply and couldn't bear to wake her up, so she didn't even have time to say goodbye.
Leng Changxi sighed softly, unable to explain how she felt. This Zhao Yuan had always been so considerate, always surrounding her in his arms, and could not bear to let her go through the wind and rain. However, such a person who could not work together side by side
Is love really what she wants?
Late autumn dyes the branches, gradually becoming haggard, the golden wind blows down, and the ground is covered with patches of worry...
In the mountains and forests, a fast horse galloped, its hooves galloping, splashing golden yellow all over the ground. The jungle was so spectacular that it failed to keep the hurried footsteps of the visitors.
Zhao Yuan on horseback galloped like this for more than three days, hurried back to Lin'an, and entered the palace at night.
The Wende Palace in autumn was even more desolate because of the silence. Leng Zhanchen had been hiding in the house disguised as Zhao Yuan for nearly fifteen days. In these days, he had sent away Eunuch Li who came to visit twice on the pretext of being unwell, which annoyed Li.
The father-in-law was a little unhappy. He didn't see Shi Hao behind closed doors three times, which aroused the suspicion of the clever fox. If he continued like this, it would be difficult for him to wait until Zhao Yuan came back, and he would have been exposed and died.
Leng Zhanchen was holding a book in his hand and was restless. He walked to the window and wanted to open it for some air. However, he suddenly remembered his current identity and gave up, fearing that someone would spy on him at night and leak the news.
Living in a boudoir without leaving the door was like going to jail for Leng Zhanchen. At this moment, he suddenly sympathized with the ladies of that family. He had been going crazy without going out for only ten days, while those ladies were
I won’t be able to get out of the house for the rest of my life!
"Squeak-" There was a sudden sound of opening the door behind him, and Leng Zhanchen said without looking back: "Xiaodouzi, can you get me some more interesting books? I have read all these books.
.”.
The visitor didn't say anything, and walked directly to his desk, glanced at the books on the table, raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly: "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect your interest to be this!"
Hearing the sound, Leng Zhanchen quickly turned around and applied with an overjoyed look on his face. He walked up to Zhao Yuan in two steps, excitedly raised his hand and punched him lightly and said: "I've been suffocated to death in the palace these days.
I’m so worried, but you’re so cool! I’ve been gone for so long, and if I don’t come back, I’ll really be in trouble!”
"I see you're living a good life, aren't you?" Zhao Yuan sarcastically picked up a book and waved it in front of Leng Zhanchen. The book was some unofficial folk books, and the books were all novels that could not be published in the elegant hall.
Many of them are secret erotic books, with vivid colors and several erotic pictures.
When Leng Zhanchen saw the book in his hand, not only did he not feel shy, but he even said shamelessly: "Who calls me a man? You can't get out of here for more than ten days and you don't want me to have sex?"
Zhao Yuan shook his head with a chuckle, put the book on the table, turned around and asked, "What's going on these days?"
Leng Zhanchen, who took a breath, swept away the anxiety on his face before, stretched out, and said lazily: "Is there any other news? Isn't it just that Eunuch Li came twice and Shi Hao came three times, but I rejected him?"
Outside the door, I felt dissatisfied."
"Eunuch Li?" Zhao Yuan frowned.
"Yes, I'm afraid the emperor was dissatisfied when he saw you not coming to greet you for so long, so he asked Eunuch Li to come to visit you." Leng Zhanchen winked at him.
Zhao Yuan nodded slowly: "I understand. I will go to pay homage to my father tomorrow."
"By the way, how is your father's situation?"
As soon as Leng Zhanchen asked this question, when he saw the solemnity and pain on Zhao Yuan's face, he suddenly felt something in his heart and had some vague speculations.
"My father has passed away..." Zhao Yuan told Leng Zhanchen the whole thing. He even explained the matter of Leng Changxi being drugged.
While Leng Zhanchen comforted him, he also joked to him: "It seems that you have gained quite a lot this time. The female bandit that my family has raised for more than ten years has been eaten up and wiped clean."
Zhao Yuan's ears turned slightly red when he smiled, and he turned away his face unnaturally.
"Then what are you going to do next?" Leng Zhanchen stopped joking and said seriously.
"Sit back and wait for the news to come, and then ask your father to marry you." Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed with determination.
"The Emperor has moved Little Bao'er's thoughts. If you ask for marriage at this juncture, I'm afraid..." Leng Zhanchen hesitated.
"My father passed away. According to tradition, I must observe mourning for three years and not get married during these three years, so the marriage can only be completed within a hundred days. When the time comes, I will use my engagement with Xiao Bao'er as an excuse to let him
I'm afraid he will have to give up on the marriage," Zhao Yuan said with narrowed eyes. In fact, he was not completely sure, he just wanted to make a desperate move, for himself and for Leng Changxi.
"This matter is not easy. Once the emperor wants to do something, I am afraid that if you say this, your whereabouts will be exposed. Then, I am afraid..." Leng Zhanchen frowned.
"I've thought about this too. If it doesn't work, I can only deal with it first and then deal with it. Then I will take full responsibility for everything!" A flash of determination flashed in Zhao Yuan's eyes.
Seeing that Zhao Yuan had planned all this long ago, although Leng Zhanchen was still worried, he still said nothing. He patted Zhao Yuan on the shoulder and said: "Okay! I have completed my mission and finally succeeded.
Retreat!"
Then, he walked out of the room gracefully, facing the night breeze and feeling the taste of freedom.
The cool breeze blew away the fragrant books on the table. Zhao Yuan sighed deeply into the night, called Xiaodouzi, and tidied the house.
Just as he was about to go to bed, a strange noise coming from the window caught his attention.
"Who?" He squinted, looked out the window warily, and moved gently to the window.
The sound made another soft sound as he approached, so Zhao Yuan quickly opened the window with half-squinted eyes. A black shadow quickly passed by his eyes, whipping up a gust of wind and blowing out the candle on the table.
